The place on the Internet where I unload. I'm more than happy to talk to whomever, but I value my anonymity. Anime, Throne of Glass, Wrestling, what more could a girl want. She/her Mtf

[tenshiotaku]

For forum user David's take on things.

[geezerwench]

In Prince's funky name, amen.

[greywrenn]

Millennial here. All the above and:

Please send me the training or tutorial in a written format with maybe some screenshots if necessary. I don't want a video tutorial. I don't want to waste time trying to scroll to the exact moment in the instructions that I need and then have to pause and replay it because I missed the .01 seconds of actually relevant information.

Please. Text. Maybe some images for clarification. I can read. I promise.

[homoqueerjewhobbit]

Skimmable, SEARCHABLE instructions. If they're long, there should be a hyperlinked table of contents.

[debetesse]

Elder Millennial here cosigning HARD

If you really need to show a movement, embed a gif or 15-scond-or-less video in the text, like Jod intended.

[cinemaocd]

I work in science communications and I am constantly hearing about how we need to try to do video to appeal to the newest generation of scientists and it's like do you think physicists who can't read are a good idea?

[teawitch]

I work in corporate communications and fight to convince executives that we can also put out this info in text form.

But i apparently am old and don't understand the youth today.

Though long term, I am winning because no one wants to watch a ten minute video to find the info at 8 minutes in.

[tenshiotaku]

Millennial in agreement. Give a girl a search document. Send me a video, and I'll straight up tell you I'm going in blind.

[obsessingoverl]

Please use these terms correctly. Not doing so will deeply harm the people who actually have experienced trauma, gaslighting, triggers, and people who have NPD.

There are few more infuriating feelings than being talked down to by someone who assumes they understand your question, but, in fact, they are smugly answering a completely different question. Especially when they won't allow you to clarify.

Friendly reminder, you are still loved.

You still matter.

This will pass and hopefully the rest of your populace will actually vote next time.

The Australian Government: we need to review the national disability scheme

Disabled people: right okay well- here's a report with over 200 recommendations to create a more inclusive Australia and to stop our abuse

The Australian Government: .... we're taking away your benefits

Try your hardest not to let 15 seconds (or minutes in your instance) ruin a good day.

I'm failing at it, but hey, you do you.

[tenshiotaku]

On the first day of pride, I say to you all, I'm still trans. Go figure.

[tenshiotaku]

I don't know why I'm like this.

Having actual friends on Fetlife is wild. You get glimpses of who they are behind the masks you have to wear in the world.

My best friends are married, and adding each other on Fetlife as friends was something we did to try and help each other step into the wider kink community.

I use Fetlife as more of a blog than this, because I feel like the elements are more raw there. One of my partners is there, if all else fails, four of my closest friends are.

But my friends uploading pics of themselves, fawning over one another, clear statements of desire and love, it warms my heart to see. They both deserve the other and the joy they bring.

Then there's pictures they put up together...

This brings something else out of me.

A shyness, a different sort of lust than I feel with my partner or prospective new ones, and a sense of hunger come to me in a blend.

I don't know what to do with this feeling. It's like I've seen a secret, and I get to keep it. It's exciting. While also, sad.

[tenshiotaku]

This really is the only place I can share my poly specific depression memes!

[tenshiotaku]

I'm not crying, you are.

I like CM Punk because

I know it's a controversial topic right now (2022), but I really like CM Punk. CM Punk almost got me to give AEW a third chance.

I'll still track down his good segments online, but I've only successfully finished Dynamite three times. This show has been going for three years at this point.

Then the worst kept secret in wrestling, CM Punk signed with AEW, and was advertised to debut at their first Rampage taping. You'd better believe I tracked that down. Although his first promo was just like every other WWE-defector promo, "WWE bad", it was exciting to see him in a wrestling ring again.

I made sure I watched his first match back, Darby Allin was pretty good, but Punk was better. The Electric Chair into that first GTS since 2014 was incredible.

I fell out again with AEW as the rest of the show was usually a boring Trainwreck, but I always kept up with Punk. Always good, always consistent, that MJF feud was magical.

He had that awkward promo with Cowboy, an awkward match with Cowboy, and won the title. I told myself I needed to watch the next Dynamite. Then he announced an injury, disappeared, and my interest in what should be exactly my niche disappeared with him.

He finally returns, I watch a weird promo on Cowboy again, then he talks about a guy he's beaten plenty of times by now, Dean Moxley.

That match in Chicago I was very excited for. CM Punk in Chicago, for the same gold and leather.

Then Brawl Out happened.

This is why I'm writing this.

I asked in a group I'm in on Facebook, "why is everyone mad at the guy who had three people break into his locker room?"

The response: "He threw the first punch."

I saw it then.

I've been on a long journey of self discovery and make a lot of effort to help the little guy when I can. I was subjected to horrific bullying at high school, I genuinely feel that teachers shouldn't encourage bullying but they did, and every time I spoke up, I was ignored.

So, I would attempt to resolve the situation myself. I often found myself throwing the first punch.

Everyone involved in the Brawl Out was suspended, and it wasn't just Punk, the Bucks and Tyson, it was seven or eight people.

The story has warped and changed since then, CM Punk has stayed silent on the topic while Tyson and the Bucks have tried to spread stories ranging from Punk being mean in the locker room to being the second coming of Hitler. Conveniently, everyone who had anything good to say about Punk disappeared from regular TV. Dax Harwood came to bat for Punk, FTR were soundly removed from most TV, despite being the most popular team in the company.

I relate to that.

I remember stories about my frustration spinning wildly out of control through the school yard, I would be painted as a monster. I remember it all quite vividly.

Thing is, CM Punk speaking his mind is frustrating. He's pointing out problems a lot of the time which people don't like. He did it in WWE, my sister is still mad about that Triple H promo, and he did it here with the guy who said he wouldn't hire 80% of the assembled talent and his tag team friends.

I can relate to this. Whether it's sticking up for the people management don't want anyone sticking up for, or pointing out when management are protecting toxic staff. I've been where CM Punk is.

[tenshiotaku]

Also, relevant.

[tenshiotaku]

Additionally relevant.

[tenshiotaku]

Oh Christopher, continuing to stooge.

I'm a manager at my job and let me tell you, staff not reading policies and trying to do their own thing does my head in.

Hopefully AEW's senior head of social media embarrassment, Daniel Bryan Danielson, doles out the discipline like your girl here does. Because fuck, Christopher.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[decepticonsensual]

I was just thinking about how important it is to have authors (both fan and professional) with whom I feel... safely unsafe, if that makes sense.

Like, this is going to hurt, there are going to be things that happen to these characters that I absolutely Do Not Want to happen, but I trust you and I trust this ride.

[decepticonsensual]

@prosocialbehavior you're right and you should say it.

Seriously, this is the philosophy of kink. And theatre. And tabletop RPGs. And rollercoasters.

"I want to experience the emotions of a situation that would be unsafe in real life, but in a safe, make-believe environment, and I need someone I trust to help create that and hold me through it," is a surprisingly common and very powerful thing.
